Fresh from releasing their latest single ‘Over You’, Galway’s favourite pop-rock band, Rofi James are set for a welcome return to home shores with an exciting performance at Monroe’s Live on Saturday, May 20.
Having recently brought their signature sound to Edinburgh, the band described as “a stadium act just waiting for a stadium,” will deliver a rousing set at the award-winning Dominick Street venue.
Growing from strength to strength, Rofi James are the epitome of the west. When they are not supporting the likes of Picture This, Wild Youth, Hermitage Green, The Riptide Movement, The Stunning, The Blizzards, Brave Giant, and Ryan Sheridan to name but a few, they can be found playing on the island of Inis Mór, the hometown of band member Rónán Ó Flaithearta.
Never straying far from their acoustic and busking roots, Rofi James have their sights set on producing new original work, forging ahead with their dark pop rock melodies, with a string of critically acclaimed singles including ‘Berlin Wall’ ‘Open Eyes’ and ‘I Tried’.
Now a trio, consisting of Rónán Ó Flaithearta (Rofi ), Jamie Murray (James ), and Joseph Flaherty, Rofi James are a fresh new voice on the Irish music scene. With a hard edge to their tracks, their latest offering ‘Over You’ delves into the complexities of a toxic relationship and the need to let go.
Inspired by artists of such calibre as The Coronas, U2, The Script and One Republic, they are weaving a spell on the Irish pop-rock landscape with their strong anthems. Not only that, but their stomping gigs are renowned for their energy, formidable performance style, and rollicking instrumentals.
From their humble beginnings “during the days of teenage discos and bad haircuts” to co-headlining festivals across the country, Rofi James are a musical tour-de-force.
